@billstevenson My rationale is that by using the Loricraft first, I am removing gross contamination from the record before it goes in the Degritter. It gets vacuum dried by the Loricraft's clever mechanism. Then when it goes in the distilled water in the DG there should be very little for it to remove, and thus very little left to be dried on the surface.
I did go as far as taking the wet record from the Degritter back to the Loricraft for a vacuum dry, but there were two problems: I have to place a wet record down on the platter and dry the uppermost surface, then flip it and put the newly dried side onto the wet platter. So I got an extra platter mat. Using this contributed to the second problem: it took too much time to go through the whole process and began to make me want to play CDs and SACDs more. So I struck a happy compromise and I find the results very acceptable. I have had conversations here with Neil. He had me do things like air dry a drop of the used solution on a mirror and look for residue (there was none).
